Nanyang County, Luyang.

"Smack——!

Yuan Shao threw the slip in his hand heavily on the ground.

His face was distorted, and he completely lost his usual grace.

"The brothers of the same father are so forced to each other, and Yuan Highway is not a son...... No, it's unworthy. ”

The rest of Yuan Shao's subordinates didn't speak, they just stood silently on both sides, watching Yuan Shao lose his temper.

It's just that I don't know that when Yuan Shao scolded Yuan Highway for being unworthy, he never thought that he also killed his half-brother.

Yuan Shao looked at the group of people below and asked, "Yuan Highway deceived me like this, what do you think?" ”

A Nanyang man said: "When Sun Jian came here from Changsha before, he had delivered the letters he exchanged with Yuan Shu to the envoy, but although Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's letters faintly pointed to this matter, we never thought that Yuan Shu actually had real evidence in his hands......

"What kind of evidence is that!"

Yuan Shao said irritably: "This is a book of speculation from my brother, how can it be used as evidence to slander me?" My brother is also confused, and he actually speculates about my own brother! ”

Xiao Ji said: "At this time, the envoy should first send someone to secretly negotiate peace with Dong Zhuo. ”

"What?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was even more angry.

"The old thief killed my uncle, and you actually asked me to make peace with him? What a reason! ”

Yuan Shao is rarely angry, and he rarely gets angry at others, but once he is really angry, the sky-high anger and terrifying momentum are still enough to make people frightened.

Xiao Ji shrank his neck in fright, and said in a low voice: "It's just ...... At present, our main energy is to deal with this matter, otherwise, once there is Dong Zhuo in front of the formation and chaos in the rear, it will really be in danger of destruction and exhaustion. ”

In fact, Yuan Shao subconsciously knew that what Xiao Ji said was right.

It's just that he is really panicked in his heart.

Seeing that the situation was getting better and better, his own brother stabbed himself in the back.

That humiliation and unwillingness are really unimaginable to others.

"It's just...... If you want to make peace with Dong Zhuo, will the old thief agree? ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao was relieved, Xiao Ji felt relieved, and he hurriedly said: "The old thief will definitely agree, although the current situation of the envoy is unfavorable, but Dong Zhuo's current situation is not very good. ”

"Especially Liu Jian has defeated several generals under Dong Zhuo in a row, Dong Zhuo is now suffering from both sides, and the situation in Luoyang City is actually not very stable, all the ministers in the DPRK and China are staring at Dong Zhuo tightly, maybe they will stab him in the back at any time, and Dong Zhuo will definitely not want to stay out for too long."

Xiao Ji is a famous wise man in Nanyang, and his analysis at the moment is still very pertinent.

Now under Yuan Shao's command, in addition to Xu You, Xiao Ji is the first of all the staff.

Yuan Shao rubbed his eyebrows, and the green tendons on his temples were jumping back and forth. It's really a headache tight.

"Princes retreat, let me think twice."

Then, according to Yuan Shao's orders, the group of people evacuated the hall one after another.

In the hall, only Yuan Shao was left alone covering his head and catching fire.

But soon, one of Yuan Shao's most trusted figures came to see him and solve his problems.

This person is none other than Yuan Shao's friend Cao Cao.

Cao Cao Shicai and Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and others prepared the troops and horses, counted the ordnance, and now he came to see Yuan Shao with the list of materials in the army that had been verified.

This expression was carefully checked by Cao Cao for a long time and smoothed out clearly.

After all, Yuan Shao's power grew too fast, and many materials did not have time to be verified and tested, so Yuan Shao was not very clear about his current family background.

Cao Cao's move can be said to have made a great contribution to Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Shao was not in the mood to praise Cao Cao now, and he was not in the mood to look at the book.

Yuan Shao threw aside the watch book that Cao Cao handed him, and took Cao Cao's hand to the table.

"Come on, serve the wine!"

Cao Cao was very surprised when he saw this.

"Originally, you drank it in broad daylight?"

"I'm panicking, drink some with me!"

Subsequently, an attendant served two jars of wine, and Yuan Shao didn't care about it in front of Cao Cao, he directly slapped one jar open, and poured "Gu Dong Gu Dong" into his mouth.

His eldest brother is like this, and Cao Cao, who is the little brother, naturally can't help but drink.

I saw that Cao Cao also slapped the wine jar and drank it with a bang.

After each of them drank the small half jar proudly, they put the jar down.

"Are you anxious about the highway at the beginning?"

As soon as he heard Cao Cao talk about Yuan Shu's words, Yuan Shao's face showed a look of disgust.

"Yes!"

"I don't know what the sages under the command of the original command have?"

Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, and then told Cao Cao the advice that Xiao Ji had given him.

"Meng De, you see, can you make peace with Dong Zhuo at this time?"

Cao Cao only thought for a moment, and then said, "It can be done." ”

Although it was only two short words, from Cao Cao's mouth, Yuan Shao felt more convincing than what Xiao Ji said.

"At this time, the pressure on Dong Zhuo's side is also very high, and the negotiation and boycott are beneficial to both sides, and, in Cao's opinion, this matter can be regarded as both pros and cons."

Yuan Shaoqi said: "This matter has made my reputation plummet, how can it be advantageous?" ”

Cao Cao said: "At the beginning, you were known as a model in the world and admired by the Quartet, although this matter has an impact on your reputation, as long as it drags on this time, you can still make up for it." ”

"However, Yuan Highway is your own brother, if he doesn't make this despicable means break with you, we really won't be able to do anything to him in the future and recover Jiangdong."

"Now that he is cut off from you, in the future, let's go east downstream, destroy Yuan Highway, and recover the Jiangdong counties, which can be regarded as justifiable."

"Collect Jiangdong?"

Yuan Shao slowly narrowed his eyes and made a contemplative look.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Yes, if you want to calm the chaos in the world, it is not enough to have the land of Jingxiang and Yuzhou, the land of Jiangdong is quite rich, and without the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is relatively peaceful. There are those who move to Jingzhou, those who move to Yangzhou, and those who move to Shuzhong. ”

"At the beginning, you were committed to the development of Jingzhou, and used the Central Plains as a barrier, and then sent another confidant to lead Jiangdong for you, plus Boye was in Shuzhong, so hegemony can be achieved."

Yuan Shao nodded slowly and said: "After you say so, the highway in Shouchun is really a stumbling block to my great cause......

"Yes, the land of Jiangdong is the foundation of becoming a king, and Yuan Highway cannot be allowed to take charge...... I have to have someone from my confidant to replace him. ”

When he said this, Yuan Shao seemed to think of something.

He began to look Cao Cao up and down.

The confidant who commanded Jiangdong for him Yuan Shao, isn't this right in front of him?

As if sensing Yuan Shao's slightly strange gaze, Cao Cao asked, "Originally, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, nothing ......"

For now, it's just a thought.

Yuan Shu's forces are still entrenched in Shouchun, and for a while, it may not be easy to let Cao Cao settle in Jiangdong.

Let Cao Cao first, like Bao Xin and Liu Dai, garrison himself in the north of Jingzhou.

"Meng De, what should I do with Yuan Highway after making peace with Dong Zhuo? What method was used to decipher the epistle? ”

Obviously, Cao Cao had already prepared for today's confrontation with Yuan Shao.

He replied to Yuan Shao very confidently: "According to a certain person, there is only one way to deal with this matter. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Lai!"

"Lai?"

Cao Cao said: "I also sent someone to inquire about Yuan Shiji's letter, although it faintly points to you, but there is no real evidence, it is all speculation...... Therefore, you can claim that this letter is fabricated by someone in order to frame you and compete with you for the position of father-in-law. ”

Yuan Shao said: "I heard that the letter has the family mark left by my brother, and it seems that it is difficult to fake. ”

Cao Cao said: "It's hard to cheat, but it doesn't mean that you can't cheat, outsiders may not be able to do it, but he Yuan Highway is Yuan Shiji's own brother, if he wants to cheat, will there be any difficulties?" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded suddenly.

"In addition, the elder brother also has to ask the elders in the clan for instructions and support Yuan Shu as the new father of the Yuan family in Runan."

"What?!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Yuan Highway hurts me so much, I want him to be Yuan's father-in-law, what kind of reason is this?"

Cao Cao looked at him with a smile.

"Originally, if you think about it carefully, this truth is not very difficult to guess...... Your support for Yuan Shu as the Runan Yuan clan is tantamount to making his letter self-defeating to your rumors. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this.

After thinking about it carefully, it dawned on me.

"I see! Mende really had a brilliant plan. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
